Hello Everyone!
I have just joined having seen the post on dogsey, I am a fairly new member there too!
Whilst 7th generation Australian, my late Grandmother used to tell me I was a mongrel i.e. Irish, Cockney, Scotch, Colonial!
So, I do hope you have room for 4 m’s like me! (middle aged menopausal maniacal mongrel)!!
I am not a pc person, am still working and miki is our 8th dog (not all at once) she is a kamikaze akita who, if she is careful will reach the ripe old age of 2 on December 30th!!
Look forward to making your acquaintance!
cheers!
Hi Lorraine and welcome to the forum. Everyone is really friendly here. As you can see I am a doggy person as well. I have 2 pointer collie crosses called Becky and Jess. 5 year old rescue dogs.
You will be enjoying your summer now while we are all feeling the cold over here.

Pleased to meet you Lorraine, and a very warm welcome!.

Hi!
Thanks everyone for such a warm welcome! Am just touching base before cutting lunches and off to work! Sleep well!
Not too hot at the moment, the experts say we are in for a mild 26 celsius for 25th. Had 46mm rain on Monday night!
Be back again soon!
cheers!
Don’t be a stranger lass. You won’t always find yourself alone here as Dandysmom is in the USA and Annie Jack in Canada, and can be on later than us in the UK.

Hi MM…welcome from a fellow OZstrayan
G’day shazkebab! How ya goin orright mate? lol! We do have some “foreign” to others way of speaking at times!!
I think you might be in for our stormy weather that we had on Monday!
Usually lobs on your doorstep 3 or so days later! We had over 36mm in 30 minutes! Wettest December for decades! Missed out on breaking the 1888 record for most in one day by .1mm we had 46.6 and the record is 46.7!!
Lunch time here, you are probably thinking about what to have to eat tonight already!!
Do you have much planned for Christmas?
Thanks again for the welcome!!
